Here’s Some Of What You Missed In Sex Ed Class

It’s no secret that what you learn in sex ed varies from classroom to classroom...

Certain topics may be left out of the curriculum entirely — like, say, how emergency contraception is a backup plan that can help prevent a pregnancy before it starts after you had unprotected sex or your regular birth control fell through. We partnered with Plan B One-Step to share some key points to catch you up. Class is in session!

Plan B Helps Prevent Pregnancy Before It Even Starts

The reality is, sometimes things don’t go as planned. That’s where emergency contraception like Plan B One-Step comes in: It works by temporarily delaying ovulation to help prevent a pregnancy when taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex or birth control failure. Without ovulation, there’s no egg to meet the sperm, which means no fertilization, and in turn, no pregnancy.
